So i will try not to be rude in this thread but if i do offend anyone well … not my problem that’s life if you get offended find a way to be thick skinned its the internet and things tend to hurt cant be sheltered forever right.
With that said let me begin. See in past halo titles i have been in a lobby that was not under the name MLG it was just a playlist intended for anyone to come in and play at whatever level of skill they may be it was not a prejudice playlist. Now in these playlist there may be trash talk it happens we move on, some trash talk is in good sport to get you amped up for the next round right.
Then there’s the one guy who comes in and has to just ruin the fun, I call him the wannabee MLG guy, he comes into casual lobbies knowing he will most likely run into matches with people who are decent at halo so to him its easy stat cushioning. then post match he begins to say how he is a halo god, how his stats are amazing, and how no one in this lobby is in his league or deserve to play against him, then he takes it a step further and checks other peoples stats not for game research purposes but just to pepper that ego just a bit more. Now for the most part people just hit mute and ignore the guy, but the fact that this person does this kinda makes me wonder, if this guy is so great why isn’t he just tearing it up in the MLG playlist.
its like the guy shows up in a stock 458 italia vs a stock prius, ford focus and a stock mustang GT,all 2015 models of course he will be a bit faster right. this guy would amp up his car/gameskills, but if he went into MLG he would be facing a Nissan Nismo GTR a Lamborghini Aventador, a Buggati and the Mclaren P1, basically MLG status Players. im sure he wont be running the same lines he may tread carefully here right.
Time and time again though i would find this kind of player in a casual playlist and if you were to look at his stats it usually would show he never stepped foot into into MLG
So basically this message goes to those players, everyone knows your basically an MLG poser and all your bragging is making you that much more ridiculous with each comment that spills through your mic. So go ahead and talk trash but keep it moderately sportsmanlike because the second you begin to try and godlike yourself all your saying is your ready for the big leagues and if someone were to check your stats and see little to no mlg playlist or custom wins under your belt more then likely people will dscover your basically some trash talking MLG wannabe.
Cant wait to play halo 5 with you all and remember just sit back and enjoy the game the second you start getting mad its no longer a video game its just not fun anymore unless screaming into oyur mic and being pisssed off to high heaven is your idea of fun, which at that point you may want to seek help because you may have issues.
I’m personally just fed up with this “competitive” and “casual” and “hardcore” bullcrap. Too many people see big maps and think that it can’t be competitive. Seriously, get two 12 person teams that really want to win and see how “casual” it is then.
Im a fairly competitive player, and by that I mean I try to beat the other team, by working with my own. Not by playing 4v4 playlists.
As ad for your concern, let the “hardcore” players play in the “casual” playlists. They’ll probably get destroyed if they stumble upon a team of people that take that playlist seriously.

Oh yea man i hate the labels and I’m not saying these people don’t need to be in those lobbies at all in fact the more people the better, what my main point is, is you get these guys who claim to be at MLG status and try to belittle the rest of the gaming community by basically being rude to the point where its not necessary. And if you actually call these guys out well,l it gets dumb. let me explain with a scenario.
So lets say Gamer x is the d bag of the lobby from my thread, he goes on and on and says how everyone in the lobby is not at his level that they don’t deserve to in the same match as him, that they should leave and never play halo again, well someone says well if your that good why waste your time here why not go play MLG where perhaps you will find a challenge, Gamer x usually will respond with cursing and nae calling and basically avoid to answer that question because more then likely he is playing in a playlist where he feels his ego will get the most overkill of a boost. everyone needs a small ego boost in things even games so we play what is called a scrimmage match such as in football you play a low par team to get your confidence boost for a major game… Problem is these guys keep playing confidence boost games but will never play that major game so they basically are on an ego boost overkill.
I’m cool with hardcore gamer playing in a random playlist they just cant be disappointing when they lose because the team didn’t pull together, its just randoms. and I’m aware there’s clan and what not but again this basically comes back to that like 2 percent of halo players who just want to cushion there stats and have a constant ego boost. its like these guys refuse to graduate 3rd grade because its super easy for them and rather stay there then move up to the next challenge. what was that movie where the guy flunked 6th grade over and over and over in order to be able to compete in the 6th grade spelling bee because he knew he was always going to win. i thik it was with Jason Batemen but that’s basically kinda like the same concept I’m getting at. not that they shouldn’t be there but if your going to act like your to good to be in the playlist then go to the playlist where you feel as though people are on even par with you. for me i love the matches that comes down to who gets that last kill on either side like where you win or lose by 1 kill. or whatever the objective may be. thats when your heart rate goes up and your all in.

> lol, someone must have made you really salty.
No not really its just an observation unless by the comment you made you are one of those who cushions his stats. either way your comment was very unnecessary, it had no real constructive purpose towards the thread and felt very much like your trying to troll.
I play Halo to win. I love balanced, competitive play with a giant skill gap.
I am with you, though, OP.
Try-hards shouldn’t be trying hard in Social Playlists. That ruins the fun for everybody else, just like I’d hate people to go into Ranked and use only Needlers while commiting suicide every 47 minutes.

I agree with everything you just said. It doesn’t have to be 4v4 to be competitive. I’ve run into some pretty competitive situations in BTB. Just because the playlist itself is generally more laid back than the small 4v4 arena stuff doesn’t mean that the games don’t get just as fiery.
The cool thing about Warzone is that now players can decide whether they want to be competitive by targeting the enemy players, or play it more casually by supporting the team with AI kills. It really does seem to appeal to all styles of play, which is fantastic.
I do sort of agree with what OP said. Of course “hardcore” players should be welcome to play in the “casual” playlists, but I don’t think they have the right be jerks about winning because they decided to bring their “go hard” mentality into an otherwise more social playlist. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take a screenshot of the scoreboard if I go 35-0, and I’ll be proud as hell, but I’m not going to trash talk the other team because I dominated. That’s just bad sportsmanship.

> So what i gathered from this is that good players aren’t allowed to play in casual playlists?
Not even close my friend, what you should have gathered was that there’s this 2 percent of gamers in a community who play in playlist where they know they have a higher skill gap that will easily win in random odds of running into another group of higher skilled players is low, the social playlist so he sticks it out there boost his stats but then takes up a bigger notch and brags it out to the point where it becomes unnecessary in my opinion those guys don’t belong anywhere, but they are welcomed as long as they know belittling the rest of the community of gamers will not get them anywhere it may even get them banned if enough people report him or her. i know i would just to see the system works.
But don’t take this as a segregation of gamer skill gap thread its not just an observation of actual likely events trust me we will run into one in warzone you know it this guy will either take all the credit for the win or just trash talk his own team for the loss.
Probably would have been quicker to mute the guy than to type out that wall of text. Just saying. Elistist people exist everywhere, all games, and real life. You just gotta deal with it.
Still watching that man that made me laugh, so hard the end though was funny “that was the most limited -Yoink- iv ever seen” lol epic thanks for that man.
Yeah, it’s annoying when someone comes in, camps in the corner with a sniper rifle or flagrantly abuses power weapons and then makes sure to message everyone to inform them of precisely how ‘rekt’ they just got.
However, as per your own instructions, it’s the Internet and you’re going to need to thicken your hide a bit. Also, as previously stated in another post, get some people together and roll as a team and you’ll likely find that few individual players can handle even a minorly coordinated set of three people. I’ve done it countless times in BTB.
